## How it works

The District's ticket schedule names a Fireworks Bylaw No. 1410, 2023. It lists offences for discharging fireworks outside a permitted period, for lighting display fireworks or pyrotechnic special effects without a permit, and for selling fireworks to anyone under 18. The bylaw text and the permitted dates are not posted on the District's website, and no other bylaw we read sets rules for fireworks on private property. Ask the District for the current rules before you buy or light any.

## Good to know

- A permit is required to light display fireworks or pyrotechnic special effects. Who issues it and the fee are not stated in the posted documents.
- In parks, fireworks are allowed only with a park permit under the [Parks Bylaw No. 1467](<https://www.100milehouse.com/sites/default/files/2026-07/Bylaw%201467%20Parks%20and%20Community%20Facilities.pdf>).
- Bylaw notices under the Fireworks Bylaw: $100 for discharging outside a permitted period ($50 if paid within 14 days, $110 after 28 days), $125 for display fireworks without a permit ($60 and $150), and $100 for selling to a person under 18 ($50 and $110).
- In a park, fireworks without a permit bring a bylaw notice of $475 ($235 if paid within 14 days, $500 after 28 days).
- Fireworks and open fires are different. See the backyard fire answer for burning rules.
